This emergency crisis is first of all a city medicine crisis<

Mathias Matallah is a specialist in health issues and access to care and president of Medicine4i, a health and health technology company.

The Minister of Health, Agnès Buzyn, presented a plan for emergencies on Monday September 9 with 750 million euros over three years.An unimaginable plan a few months ago…

The government treats in an emergency something that he had not seen coming!The question of access to care risks polluting stage two of the five -year term.There was nothing on this subject in Emmanuel Macron's program and he forgot it in the great debate, while an Ifop investigation shows that it became the first concern of the French.The boomerang effect can be devastating.

Without creating new caregivers or largely reopening hospital beds, can the Buzyn plan fall back on emergency pressure?

You cannot solve twenty years of errors in two or three years and some measures.The crisis that shakes emergencies is the prelude to a much more global and more serious crisis of the health system as a whole, which will have major political repercussions.It is the direct consequence of the disintegration of city medicine.Waiting times for an appointment with a specialist have passed in eight years from forty-four to sixty-seven days, excluding additional examinations.Patients now use emergencies as a substitute, and they are clearly neither sized nor organized for that.

The future care access service (SAS) should theoretically make an appointment with a general practitioner within twenty-four hours.Does this seem viable?

« Cette crise des urgences est d’abord une crise de la médecine de ville »

General practitioners are already saturated, they often have more than 900 patients as treating physicians ... It is not a magic wand that they can take new patients and new emergency meetings.This emergency crisis is first of all a crisis in city medicine, the shortage cannot be absorbed by a new level of regulation.It will take something deeper.And the increase in numerus clausus will not have effect for ten years.

Liberal medicine therefore does not have the means to take charge of patients who no longer turn to it?Are medical assistants and professional health communities (CPTS) implemented by the government not a solution?
